Seed corn grows up to be field corn, which is fed to cows. Sweet corn is what humans eat. My father sometimes ate field corn harvested very young (and hence still tender) when sweet corn season started. He'd plant a couple of rows of sweet corn at the edge of the corn field closest to our house for easy picking.

No idea about corn for other uses. But corn fields are fascinating and scary for kids. Fun to run and disappear among the tall stalks but easy to feel lost and lots of sharp edges.
